TYPES OF LIFTMASTER GATE OPENERS WE CAN REPAIR AND INSTALL
Ideal for steep driveways or limited spaces, sliding gates move horizontally, making them a popular choice for wider commercial entrances.
Common in residential areas, swing gates hinge open and closed with single or double 'leaf' options depending on size of the gate and available space.
Primarily controlling vehicle access in places like parking lots, barrier arm gates utilise a long arm that lifts to allow vehicles to pass through.
Telescopic gates are made up of several overlapping sections and are a great solution when side space is restricted but a wide entryway is necessary.

TESTIMONIALS
What our customers say about us
Honest, reliable and super efficient! Thank you, Gate Gurus and especially Simon who was very charming and went to trouble of explaining the issue in detail. He fixed my electric gate which was stuck open (a nightmare when you have crazy dogs) and even took extra measures to make sure the problem didn't happen again. All in under an hour 🙌

Sally Carlier-Hull
Great company, great service and reasonably priced - fixed my auto gate which hasn't worked properly since the day we moved in! Very happy.

Kate D
Mo did a great job on my faulty electric gate. He identified the problem quickly and was able to book me in very quickly in line with rental bookings I had on my property. Thanks Mo! Highly recommended to anyone.

Rich Branson
Gate Gurus fixed my gate after other tradesmen had not succeeded in doing so. The work was done promptly and efficiently. They really are Gate Gurus!

D S Jaffe
Elsternwick
My gate had a broken hinge and was dragging on the ground. Gate Gurus replaced it quickly & neatly. They even supplied & installed an extra steel plate to strengthen the other one which had begun to sag. I was very impressed with the service especially their reasonable price and would have no hesitation using them again in the future.

A Brom
St Kilda
Drew (professional and courteous) came to replace a dead gate controller, ended up fixing another gate issue for me. The gate now works better than when it was first installed. Great work, happy customer.

Ken Farnes
Excellent excellent excellent… My email was answered at 7pm, the guys were out here at 10am next day. Gave me a confirmatory courtesy call on the way so I knew to expect them. Had a look, set the price. Did a very thorough job fixing my gates. Obviously very knowledgeable. Very professional. Got the job done - it was a very smooth process with no mucking around. Thank you. Highly recommended. (Compared with another company that measured me up for brand new gates and would send the quote later and start in about 6 weeks time).

Michelle Chan
After completing a form online, someone booked me soon after. My gate had stopped working and they were able to diagnose and repair the issue very promptly. Service from booking to repair was excellent. Good value pricing wise and I'd consider them if I had to replace my current automatic gate.

Alberto Polintan
Extremely pleased with the service and quality of two technicians sent by Gate Gurus - to repair our 22 yo electronic driveway swing gate. Initially with a very pleasant Simon, who fixed the first issue. Then, with a very knowledgeable Vincent, who fixed the second issue. Both attendances were quick and professional. Thanks also to their manager, Mo - for his immediate attention.

Frequently Asked Questions
LiftMaster gate repair costs in Melbourne typically range from $150-$400 for minor repairs (remote replacement, safety sensor adjustment, basic troubleshooting), $400-$800 for moderate repairs (control board replacement, motor replacement for swing gates, electrical work), and $800-$2,000+ for major repairs (complete motor replacement for large gates, multiple component failures, extensive electrical problems). The final cost depends on the specific issue, gate type and size, parts required, and whether it's emergency or scheduled service. Contact Gate Gurus for a transparent quote with no obligation - we stand behind all repairs with our 5-year labour guarantee.
Common reasons include: safety sensors that are blocked, dirty, or misaligned (the most frequent cause - check that sensors are clean, properly aligned, and nothing is obstructing the beam), incorrect force settings on the control board (set too low), low battery backup power, control board issues causing electrical problems, or the gate not receiving the close command from your remote. Try these troubleshooting tips: clean sensors, check for obstructions, test using the control panel's magic button instead of remote, and reset the system by disconnecting power for 30 seconds. If basic troubleshooting doesn't resolve the issue, contact Gate Gurus for professional diagnosis and repair to restore normal operation.
Start with basic troubleshooting: check the power supply and reset your circuit breaker if needed, replace batteries in your remote control, inspect safety sensors for obstructions or misalignment (clean with a soft cloth), and look for loose connections or blocked sensors. Try the magic button on your control panel to test if the motor works. If the problem persists after these troubleshooting steps, contact Gate Gurus for professional LiftMaster gate repair. Issues with the control board, electrical problems, or sensor malfunctions require specialised knowledge and equipment.
With proper installation and regular maintenance, a quality LiftMaster gate opener typically lasts 10-15 years or longer. Life expectancy depends on usage frequency (residential gates last longer than high-cycle commercial gates), environmental conditions (coastal areas and extreme weather can accelerate wear), maintenance schedule (annual service for residential, more frequent for commercial), and installation quality. Schedule regular maintenance with Gate Gurus to maximise your system's lifespan and catch small issues before they become major problems.
